Overcoming legacy manufacturing challenges with Google Cloud (Mikołaj Karebski, VirtusLab)
Presentation aims to show our journey of building cloud infrastructure for manufacturing systems within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) landscape. With a strong emphasis on security by design, infrastructure automation, reliability, and more - everything in the complex domain with a number of integrations with legacy systems. Mikołaj will delve into the various aspects of project development, best practices, and how architecture has adapted to new challenges and business requirements.

Mikołaj Karebski is an ex-Java Dev, now Cloud/DevOps Engineer in VirtusLab. Cybersecurity and DevOps culture enthusiast. Loves gaming and watching gamedev vlogs. Constant learner. Find him at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miko%C5%82aj-karebski-66782788/ or

Webhooks & Webhook Gateways (Subomi Oluwalana, Convoy)
Webhooks are the standard mechanism for company-to-company event notifications and data sync. Webhook Gateways are a piece of technology that solves the ingest and delivery of webhooks at scale. In this talk, I walk through the problems of webhooks at scale and the design of a Webhooks Gateway to solve these issues one after the other.

Subomi is a Software Engineer and the Co-Founder & CEO of Convoy. Find him at: x.com/subomiOluwalana

Using, and mis-using Kubernetes Dynamic Admission Control (Richard Tweed)
Kubernetes Dynamic Admission control can be used for advanced validation and error correction of workloads, or to take down your cluster! If you’ve ever wanted to validate and change workloads in your clusters to conform to security best practices, this talk will show you how!

Richard Tweed has spent half a decade applying Kubernetes to the hardest problems in banking. He is a CKS-certified Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Thought Machine who enjoys using k8s in unexpected ways such as kube-audit-rest which he maintains.
